Alleged poaching kingpin granted bail

FRANCISTOWN: In a move that would surely irk wildlife conservationists, an alleged Zimbabwean poaching kingpin was recently granted bail by a magistrate here.

The alleged poacher, Dumisani Moyo, 52, was repatriated from Zimbabwe to Botswana towards the end of last year to face a single count of being found with a rhinoceros horn without lawful cause in October 2012 along the Francistown-Orapa junction road. 

Moyo was previously granted bail by the magistrate court here in 2012 but escaped without trace until he was arrested in Zimbabwe last year before being extradited to Botswana to face his alleged legal woes.
